Shaping transport infrastructure in Sub-Saharan Africa (1884-2020). The impact of decision-making on network efficiency and sustainability: the case of Cameroon
(English) The objective of this research is to delve into the decision-making processes that shape the provision of transport infrastructure. To this end, it analyses the historical evolution of transport networks in ...
Entendiendo los Parques Nacionales como reflejo de nuestra capacidad para vivir en un medio natural. Una mirada a través de la habitabilidad, Parque Torres del Paine
(English) Since last decade, tourism in Chilean Patagonia has grown rapidly, largely promoted by State policies and encouraged by privately held companies, whose objective is to turn this region into a pole of attraction ...
High-fidelity numerical simulations of reacting flows with tabulated chemistry
(English) In the transition to net-zero carbon emission technologies, turbulent combustion is expected to retain an important role in various applications. In particular, the aviation industry is projected to widely adapt ...
Environmental impact accounting of organic agricultural production systems: advancing inventory and biodiversity modelling approaches in life cycle assessment
(English) Agriculture not only contributes to more than a quarter of all global greenhouse gas emissions but is also the number one anthropogenic source of nitrogen emissions and a danger to nearly half of threatened ...
Mathematical programming models to design and analyse efficient and robust raiway freight transport networks
(English) Searching to achieve an ambitious reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, the European Union has set as a goal a modal shift in freight transport of 30\% by rail or waterborne for the near future. The increasing ...
Mid-infrared surface sensing based ontTwo-dimensional materials
(English) Mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectroscopy in the wavelength region between 2 and 20 µm is a powerful technique to identify vibrational absorption signatures of molecules, finding in this way extensive applications in ...
Dc-dc converters for HVDC heterogeneous interconnections
(English) High voltage direct current (HVDC) technologies have been used for bulk power transmission over long distances since the 1950s. These technologies have proven to be the most cost-efficient compared to the high ...
Mechanical characterisation of masonry in existing structures by means of laboratory and in-situ experimental techniques
(English) Masonry structures are among the most abundant construction typologies in the world, having been commonly built until the second half of the 20th century. The determination of the mechanical properties of these ...
Anàlisi del comportament de bigues de formigó armat reforçades amb FRCM vegetal sota càrregues de flexió cíclica
(English) Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) is a strengthening method that has been increasing its importance versus Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) due the lower cost and lower toxicity of its materials. The ...
Quality of service, security and trustworthiness for network slices
(English) The telecommunications' systems are becoming much more intelligent and dynamic due to the expansion of the multiple network types (i.e., wired, wireless, Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud-based networks). Due ...
Technologies for injection molded antennas for mass production
(English) The deployment of 5G antenna infrastructure and the mandatory adoption of anti-collision radars for automotive cars will require large amount of antennas operating in the millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelength. ...
Raman dressed Bose-Einstein condensates with tunable interactions: topological gauge theories and supersolids
(English) The exquisite control available in atomic ultracold quantum gases experiments makes them an ideal candidate for quantum simulation of diverse topics ranging from high energy physics and analogue quantum gravity ...
Síntesi d'alt nivell de circuits asíncrons
(Català) A mesura que augmenta el nombre de transistors integrables en un xip, problemes com el desfasament del senyal de rellotge esdevenen cada cop més crítics. Altres avantatges com un consum més baix, una velocitat ...
Quantum-enhanced imaging with SPAD array cameras
(English) Entangled photon pairs can enhance optical imaging capabilities. Phase imaging allows detecting fine detail of transparent samples without potentially invasive fluorescent labelling, and here entanglement enables ...
Aportaciones a la estabilidad de plantas marinas de generación eléctrica, con volantes de inercia
(English) The falls of electrical generation plants on board or Power Blackouts, put in check the safety of the crew, the ships and the environment. Induction motors with a significant power in kW in relation to the kVA ...
Methodology for seismic vulnerability assessment of existing masonry buildings in urban centres. Application to the Eixample district in Barcelona
(English) Unreinforced masonry buildings (URM), which prevail in many historic and urban centres, can be considered to be significantly vulnerable to seismic actions due to their peculiar constructive and structural features ...
Robotic manipulation of cloth: mechanical modeling and perception
(Eng) In this work we study various mathematical problems arising from the robotic manipulation of cloth. First, we develop a locking-free continuous model for the physical simulation of inextensible textiles. We present ...
La visió de la informàtica en la literatura de ciència ficció
(Cat) Aquesta memòria descriu com la literatura de ciència ficció reflecteix en les seves narracions els conceptes i resultats propis de la ciència i la tecnologia informàtica. Aquesta visió cal entendre-la en un sentit ...
